FLUORINATED GREENHOUSE GASES

• This equipment contains fluorinated greenhouse
gases covered by the Kyoto Protocol.
• The global warming potential of the refrigerant
(R-134a) used in this unit is 1300. The refrigerant
quantity is stated in this document.
• The fluorinated greenhouse gases in this equipment
may not be vented to the atmosphere.

RESPONSIBILITY FOR SAFETY

Every care has been taken in the design and manufac-
ture of the unit to ensure compliance with the safety
requirements. However, the individual operating or
working on any equipment is primarily responsible for:
12
• Personal safety, the safety of other personnel, and
the equipment.
• Correct utilization of the equipment in accordance
with the procedures detailed in the manual.

MISUSE OF EQUIPMENT

Suitability For Application
The unit is intended for cooling water or glycol so-
lutions and is not suitable for purposes other than
those specified in these instructions. Any use of the
equipment other than its intended use, or operation
of the equipment contrary to the relevant procedures
may result in injury to the operator, or damage to the
equipment. The unit must not be operated outside the
design parameters specified in this manual.
Brine Applications
When the chiller is not running, cold brine should
NOT be run through the evaporator. However, if there
is brine running through the evaporator, there must
be flow through the condenser to prevent tubes from
freezing.
Structural Support
Structural support of the unit must be provided as in-
dicated in these instructions. Failure to provide proper
support may result in injury to the operator, or damage
to the equipment and/or building.
Mechanical Strength
The unit is not designed to withstand loads or stresses
from adjacent equipment, pipework, or structures. Ad-
ditional components must not be mounted on the unit.
Any such extraneous loads may cause structural failure
and may result in injury to the operator, or damage to
the equipment.
General Access
There are a number of areas and features, which may
be a hazard and potentially cause injury when working
on the unit unless suitable safety precautions are taken.
Make sure access to the unit is restricted to suitably
qualified personnel, who are familiar with the potential
hazards and precautions necessary for safe operation
and maintenance of equipment containing high tem-
peratures, pressures, and voltages.
